The FAILSAFE message would appear upon starting the engine before even touching the gear lever.

One other thing I failed to mention was that once I started getting the message, the shift from Park to Reverse was rather abrupt, not smooth like when the transmission was acting normally.

It certainly will be interesting to see how the transmission acts once I get everything back together again!
